1997 Formula 1 champion Jacques Villeneuve is following with interest the developments surrounding the young Oscar Piastri, who refused to drive for Alpine despite the team investing heavily in his training…
Jacques Villeneuve: “Watching what happens is very interesting, although lately it seemed that there was little that could surprise us. But it will not be easy for Oscar to start a career against such a background.
He will remember. When a team or sponsor decides to sign him a contract, they will ask themselves, “What is he going to do with us? What happens if we trust this person?” Piastri is playing a dangerous game.
There is Formula 1 and there is the rest of the racing world. Over the years we’ve seen a lot of drivers win every series they competed in, and in Formula 1 they fell behind, unable to deal with the fact that you have to be more talented, more durable and smarter here. Piastri’s career has been very successful, but we don’t know how strong he will be in Formula 1. It’s a big question.”
